I have been using X11BASE=/misc/local/X (set in /etc/rc.conf;
/usr/X11R6 is symlinked to it) at least since Dec 2006 (Xorg 6.2).
So far I have not noticed any problems with 343-some ports (which do
not have a great deal of GNOME or KDE).

Short of testing with full blown GNONE|KDE, is there anything else I
can try to test?  Should I try without the /usr/X11R6 symlink?
